ASHOS

It is the perfect name for that team.

I took my kids to see the Mets play the ASHOS at Citi last year. At ages 7 and 10 at the time, they got two sections of the upper deck to chant “cheaters” at a foursome of ASHOS fans as they walked up the steps to their seats. And every time they got up after that. Hilarious.

Great job dad and kiddos!

I'll be going to see the Sox - Tetas in a few weeks in Arlington. Going to be a whole new experience as I've never seen baseball outside of Fenway Park. Hopefully they are nice to us.

Using these figures, Eddie Gaedel would've had a strike zone that began 11.61 inches off the ground and ended 23 inches off the ground for a zone height of 11.39 inches, or a total strike zone area of 193.63 square inches.

Can’t believe nobody needs a guy to ground into a double play on a 2-0 count 67 times a year, while playing average to below defense.

Phantom injury?

His homer today was gorgeous

Corbin getting a contract from anyone at this stage is a wild look.

Guy has been cooked for half a decade.

Apparently, he still can't throw well enough to play the outfield. He's throwing at 90 feet. He could DH, but they want Raffy there.

In other transactions, Kimbrel is still at it. If he could replicate the first half in the second half, he'd still be a good arm to have in the pen.

Amazingly, Verdugo was the center piece of the Mookie Betts trade.

Marcelo Mayer starting at 2B today with the rest of the full time lineup......

Good choice.
We got hosed on the Sale deal.

You mean the one with the White Sox?

Grissom is awesome baby.....I mean Gus Grissom the astronaut. Vaughn is bad at baseball. Hosed indeed.
Glad they are going with Campbell and Mayer instead of mediocre Hamilton and bad Grissom. Pedroia did not hit at first either. Campbell has bat speed, I have a hunch the rest will come with some at bats.

Eh, Sale was still injured when it mattered the most

Guerrero will be back. He's fantastic

While Red Sox fans were ready to part with Verdugo, it was still irritating to see him sign with the New York Yankees for 2024. However, he had his worst year as a pro and set career lows in batting (.233), OPS (.647), and had a dreadful sub-.300 on-base percentage.

Ummm......Verdugo did not sign with the Yankees - he was traded to NY for Dick Fitts, Greg Weissert and Nicholas Judice.
